Who else feels like they're writing a poem?

I don't like to write ideas without any supporting sentences, so if I take out a topic or idea, a good chunk of words comes out. And then I have to fit another idea into the allocated number of words available.

The spouse question is so they consider you as a team so to speak, several schools do this (Tuck does it too). If one is a very strong candidate and the other is borderline then it will really help the weaker applicant. Unfortunately this also works if one is borderline and one is a poor candidate. They do this so if they wont accept you and ding your spouse, though that may happen on a rare occasion.

At the Tuck event, I was told generally it helps your application because they like to have some married couples there. Its a good stat to help recruit students.

Thanks riverripper.

My significant one is doing his PhD degree in Cornell (Computer Science). To be honest this is so far the most important reason for me to apply into Cornell. Anyway he's not in the Johnson School. Hmm...

This will definitely help your chances.

I think I read somewhere that they accpet 10-12 PHD students out of 500 applicants.

Well he's not applying for MBA. (PhD battlefield is enough.)

Then will this fact has any effect on my application anyway?

Just so I'm clear... your spouse is a PHD student in Computer Science at Cornell and you're the only one that will be applying to the MBA program?

So do you also live in Ithaca? I think it helps your chances because the odds of you accepting an offer are really high. If you're on the fence, then the fact that you will accpet could push you over the edge.
